SCITT Programmes in East London Schools
Our vision is making a real difference to children’s life chances.
Our vision is to train teachers who make a real difference to children’s life chances, regardless of their background.
Through our ambitious, rigorous and evidence-based curriculum, we train excellent teachers to have the skills and knowledge they need to create lasting change.
As a partnership of schools, we work together to recruit and train excellent teachers, who are inspired and equipped to continue to develop their teaching and leadership skills throughout their careers.
Our programmes:
